At CENTRE DENTAIRE PRIVÉ, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr Delisle frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals, Dr Delisle's approach is focused on delivering no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth with a healthier smile.
• For those affected by their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth, Dr Delisle provides solutions that lead to being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.
• Effectively addressing their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) with Dr Delisle's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort and social interactions.
• Dr Delisle understands that dealing with a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause, helping patients comfortably get back to maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects and feeling their best.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Delisle, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Delisle is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Delisle?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DENTAIRE PRIVÉ directly to arrange their visit with Dr Delisle.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Delisle at CENTRE DENTAIRE PRIVÉ?

Your first visit with Dr Delisle will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr Delisle will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In Quebec, provincial health plans like the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE PRIVÉ.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Delisle typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Delisle is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Delisle will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Delisle for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Delisle will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It is important to follow Dr Delisle's specific recommendation.
